WATERSMEET Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Berkshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two WATERSMEET sales from January 2009 and April 2021 have been plotted on the graph. A line has been extrapolated to show what the value of the property might have been over time, following each sale, had it maintained the same margin above or below the HPI (as a percentage). For example, the January 2009 sale was for 18% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% above the HPI over time, until the April 2021 sale, where it falls to 7% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 7% above the HPI.

What might WATERSMEET be worth now?

WATERSMEET might now be worth an estimated £750,794.

This is based on house price inflation of 18.2%, between April 2021 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the West Berkshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 18.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for WATERSMEET of £635,000 on 12th April 2021. For the value to have increased from £635,000 to £750,794 over the four years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of WATERSMEET has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the West Berkshire local authority area.
• The April 2021 sale price of £635,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of WATERSMEET has not materially changed since April 2021.
